Great tips...love seeing the various stages at their completion and hearing your rationale the initial, middle, and final washes.

I love your lessons! So helpful

Thank you for your advice. I’m definitely guilty of not waiting for the paint to dry before moving on to the next stay. Some times I do but not often enough. It’s a lesson I need to practice!

Thanks, Matt - really excellent reminders on the 3 keys!! I always do end up rushing, maybe because I used to take a two hour class every week and always wanted it done each week. I've since learned to slow down, and take the time I need. The 3rd key is important for me, too - I have started to take a break between the 2nd wash and the 3rd. The Darks always go in better if I come back to the painting fresh, reviewing where I've been, checking the value studies, the sketches, my notes, and coming at it with that fresh, awake eye. It's when I get tired I start to over work it.

Your style really reminds me of Sargent. You take a lot of inspiration from his watercolors, huh? By the way, thank you for being so consistent Matthew! I really enjoy your vids. They give me new perspective on my techniques! Keep at it mate.
